Hey guys, quite honestly this is just a post-mortem help I felt I would want to chime in with. I just had almost a heart attack last night thinking I bricked my HTC Raider 4G / HTC Holiday / HTC Vivid / HTC Velocity 4G - Whatever you want to call it, it's the same phone. BTW, the captcha on this site and the discrimination towards new users is borderline a war crime
I want to ensure you that if you followed the whole Juopunutbear S-off bootloop / ControlBear method - your phone is NOT BRICKED. Mine wasn't, and I almost gave up on it last night. I ended up trading my HTC Raider 4G with someone for a Samsung Galaxy S III, but I wanted to touch base and just give you a heads up as to what I did (as best my memory serves me).
My situation was as follows:
1) I used the whole S-Off Toolkit By Hasoon2000 - and actually got S-Off (Security Off)
2) I followed to a tee, with all of it's "beer" references and did the whole "wire-trick" see picture below, I had to pull out my lab lamp light to see it and was getting more and more angry as the evening progressed.
3) My phone was stuck in the Juopunutbear S-Off Bootloop (or Boot Loop as some put it)
4) I could get the phone into Recovery/Fastboot (whatever you want to call it.)
Here is what I did to fix it:
1) Get yourself your OEM RUU (This is the Original Equipment Manufacturer Rom Update Utility), I hate acronyms so I will clarify as I go. You can download these at the following link (If you come back to this page a year from now and the links are broken, Google them by the exact file name, I am certain someone out there will keep backups forever. The link below surely has your carrier, e.g. Telstra etc. Follow the instructions and download your RUU for your carrier:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/002b74e0f4775869/
2) Pull the battery out of your HTC Raider / Holiday / Vivid / Velocity
3) Re-insert the battery into the phone
4) Press the volume down button + power and hold until the "Bootloader" or "Recovery" or "HBoot" or "Fastboot" screen comes up - many names for it.
5) Once the screen has come up, click on Fastboot and connect it to your computer. If it detects your computer it will say "Fastboot USB", this is good and it will look like the image at the bottom.
6) Once the phone is connected, run the specific file name for your phone based on carrier from point number 1.
7) Leave the phone plugged in and running, and it will basically flash the phone back to OEM - at least this way you can have a useable phone and will allow you to retreat/regroup and fight another day.

I hope this helps, I was quite honestly pulling my hair out trying to find out more information/help but it was just almost impossible to find for this phone - I think the reduced user base is partially to blame for this. My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 and I had absolutely no issues with support. I've learned my lesson and devices to back out, I now have a nice Samsung Galaxy S 3. If you need anything - I think you can PM me. P.S. I ran both Virtuous Inquisition ROM as well as Wajee's 1.5 and they were ok - Wajee was a bit better.
Thanks for that. S-OFF seems scary for many, and I'm sure a lot of people got stuck on the whole juopunutbear splash screen (including myself on my 1st attempt S-OFF!)

well the htc soft ware said error, i dont recall the error code #, i did have it in fastboot usb, also after it failed, i unplugged the data cable and on the fastboot usb menu it said(i think)
security "something" fail
and
rom"something" fail (in red letters)
im super lost and im doing everything as you mentioned. also once i reboot, the phn just boots into that flash light and phn. if its ok i would like to record a shot vid of what my phn does and send it to you, because when im in the fastboot usb menu the phn starts running some cheks and stuff on its own and THEN it lets me choose what i want to do(reboot, fastboot, etc.)
thank you so much for your help!!!!!!!
htc inc s, brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu) . So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago!
Can someone figure out what is going on and help maybe...

yay i think that ebay china seller has fooled you
i am not sur but it must be like this;
the phone must be from indonesian market.
(there is no reason for which htc global support will lie!!)
the ebay china seller must have resold it to you.!!
and then you flashed a european RUU and thats the problem.
i will try to hunt for solution.
may be some expert will come up with solution
keep patience
:silly:
okay
i searched a bit on your problem
a guy on android forums has a similar problem
check; http://androidforums.com/htc-rezound/596891-ics-ota-bricked-my-new-unrooted-phone-help.html (if posting a link for information purpose is also not allowed by this forum please forgive me)
i dont think there is any solution!!
just in case asking; can you get into fastboot??
i dont think you can as bootloader doesnt start but asking it a s a last option

That probably is the problem. +1 I would find an official European RUU for the Incredible S and then run it. Or just unlock the bootloader and root it and live a long life with the Incredible S

O right nvm, unlocking bootloader is not possible because you need android debugging.... hmmm.... school has been wrecking me lately....
It might be possible to run an RUU though. Just have it boot and have it left in the state. Then try running the RUU. Of course I have never seen such a case as this and at this point, anything could be worth trying :/

ya that true
but i dont think that would work
if some way he is able to get fastboot atleast;
then everything can be done
but i think he will have to send it to company or ebay seller to demand for exchange

The only other thing you could try is to get the latest RUU from HTCDEV.com and extract the ROM.zip file from the /temp directory and then copy it to the SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip.
Then try rebooting using volume down and power and see what happens.

Why did you choose that RUU and ROM? This forum is for GSM version of the Incredible S. The Verizon version of the HTC Incredible 2 is a CDMA/GSM hybrid phone.
From the sound of it, I think your SD card is probably the root of the issue. That would explain why the OTA failed. Have you tried taking the SD card out and booting the phone without it. That might abort the OTA and allow you to get back to the HBOOT menu.

You can't as far as I'm aware , just ignore it till it boots into your chosen rom , it does no harm unless you plan to lock the phone and sell it where I would guess it will disappear ?
Sorry I have no experience in this as I've never relocked a phone

Now please answer a few questions..
1) Are you able to boot into bootloader mode? (using volume down and power button)
2) Does it say unlocked?
3) Did you find the rom on this forum?
4) Did you install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP?

First download a recovery image. Save it in the platform tools folder of your android SDK install.
Go to bootloader, plug your USB cable into the PC, enter fastboot. On your PC navigate to the platform tools folder again, Ctrl+shift + right click and select "open command window here", or something similar. Type fastboot devices to see if your phone is connected. Then fastboot erase cache and fastboot flash recovery <name of your recovery image>.img plug out your cable and try to boot into recovery.
Should fix it

Hi to all, I am using htc desire c golfu and I am facing a problem with cwm red message "this build is for development purposes only" specially when i am trying to install via fastboot any boot.img (such as kernel or rom image that is responsible for wifi to work and the phone doesn't boot to homescreen, reboots again with the htc logo and cwm red message below)!. (As with Nameless rom guide,What i haven't done in those two ways i tried to install the images was to take out the battery, I boot to bootloader by holding volume down + Power!
So, what I had to do 2 times, was to relock and flash again the stock rom!
P.S. I don't have a problem installing rom zips with sdcard
Thanks for the help!

You need to have your bootloader unlocked. Install a custom rom and then install a kernel. Make sure you full wipe before you install the rom. Try the lowest possible frequency. Make sure you have the correct kernel.

I have to mention that I have done the root two times (I have a backup, full wipe with cwm and then flash zip from the card), but i stacked when I had to flash the boot.img (first was when I have flashed the "auto boot img" from revolution mod 3vs3 for fixing the wifi & second when I wanted to flash a nope kernel img with revolution job rom)! It's like the phone doesn't want the command boot.img (even though I see on my screen that it has been flashed but when I reboot, cwm red message appears)!
Try lower MHz kernel

Can you post a screen shot of your bootloader (HBOOT) screen? Do you have the original box the phone came in? If so, can you post the Model ID?
A friend of mine has a T-Mobile HTC One and he bricked it, he asked me for help, knowing I'm very good with tech and android. But the thing is that I know everything but from Samsung, I always try to read a lot and learn from new devices to fix them or even try something because I'm always asked for help from my family, sure you guys know about that, but sadly I'm in finals and I'm barely sleeping and I've read a little but not enough but need I to help him so that's why I ask you guys for help urgently. Here are the things I know:
The phone is trapped in a bootloop after the Cyanogenmod logo and restarts itself after a minute
It is S-ON but unlocked
It is the M7_UL T-Mobile model
It is on HBOOT 1.56
The Radio is on 4A.24.32.63.09
The OS 4.19.531.10
It can still enter recovery and is recognized by my PC
From what I've read that has been a little bit, I can restore it completely with a RUU (kind of like a .tar in ODIN for Samsung), but it has to be Relocked and in other sites it says that it has to be S-OFF, needless to say that I don't know what tools to use and then I've seen that that Hboot 1.65 is not supported and well right now I have to create my SQL project, sorry to ask you guys as I hate when other do it just to not read but I swear this is not the case.
Help to fix this will be very appreciated

First thing, try this
Force reboot: press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.
Then reboot.
(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)
What recovery do you have?
CWM has problems with 4.4.2.
The rom bootloops
Install twrp 2.6.3.3
Make sure it's for your phone.
If that doesn't work, do you know how to post a fastboot getvar all.
